At Monster I have successfully completed multiple
projects through the QA phase conducting manual and
Automated testing for a .Net application. Currently
one of the applications is being used as Monsters
primer application for new business. In first month
revenues in excess of $1 million was generated and
projected at $150M/yr. Usability was reported at an
all time high for the organization. As one of the QA
leads of the project I ensured that the QA process as
an integral part of the process. The defects written
both functional and usability were welcomed and
addressed by the Development and Business teams and
incorporated to enhance the product. Another
application was released end of January and is
targeted for 100,000 pre-selected customers.  The
targeted revenue for this application is $500,000 to
$1 Million per month. I was the QA lead in this
project.
While at Evare I conducted research and development of
test harnesses that greatly reduced testing efforts
for the QA team. These sophisticated harnesses were
developed with particular attention to program
functionality and appropriate cases. In addition to
being utilized in future testing, these harnesses have
since been integrated into Evare’s testing cycle and
are standard practice before the release of new
products to the market. 
    Additionally, I have extensive experience
creating, maintaining and performing test scripts,
regression tests and utilizing automated tools to
improve business efficiency. I was appointed to the
Rational Automated Software Quality Customer Advisory
Board, where I participate in discussions on the
future of automation tools and provided feedback on
various Rational products. Consequently, I have
significant experience implementing and using
automated testing tools.   
    At New River, I created the organization’s first
QA test team and managed offshore resources while
establishing testing procedures. In addition, I worked
with senior management to coordinate testing strategy,
usage of automation tools, schedules and manage
resources. I therefore have the ability to effectively
interact with all levels of management and to excel in
an aggressive-schedule environment. 
    Finally, I offer excellent communication and
organization skills. Given the opportunity I am
confident that I have the requisite experience and
skill-set to make a valuable contribution to the IT
team at your University. I have attached a copy of my
resume and look forward to talking with you about the
position.

Sincerely yours, 

Stephen Mwangi
